The Broncos have agreed to terms with third-round receiver Eric Decker. Based on where he was slotted as the No. 87 overall pick, Decker was to receive a four-year contract worth about $2.525 million with a $732,000 signing bonus.

Not bad for a rookie who missed every entire offseason practice to recover from a foot fracture. Decker has been cleared to play and was schedule to participate in the rookies’ conditioning test Monday. He will be on the field Wednesday afternoon when the Broncos open their rookie training camp.

Decker had been the focus of the Minnesota Gophers’ offense the past two years under coach Tim Brewster. The 6-foot-2, 215-pound Decker had 73 catches for 995 yards in the Gophers first nine games of 2008 and had 43 catches for 689 yards through five games in 2009 before injuries halted his record-setting paces.

“Man, I’m really busy … I’m leaving for Canton soon,” Little said this weekend when I called him to ask for a favor.

“Can you do our “Fan Mail” segment this week?” I asked. “It’s where fans send in their questions to the athletes. It’s pretty popular.”

Now, I think if I had asked Little for another media interview, he might have said no. He’s been interviewed to death since me has elected to the Hall of Fame. But knowing that these questions were coming from Broncos fans, Little said yes.
